Yes your muscle breaks down, but you should not feel it. If you are having pain like that it could be dehydration. Talk to your doctor.

How long ago was your surgery? Are there any pink/ reddish discoloration on the calf? Any warmth? Those things could be a sign of a blood clot. Not trying to be an alarmist but I am a nurse. If you are pretty recent post op u should definitely have this addressed as it could be a dangerous situation. If the things above are listed please don't wait and head to your nearest ER. Please promise me you will have it checked.

So far there are no manifestations of DVT or compartment syndrome. My only thoughts are that I may be developing rhabdomyolysis. I have not seen my doctor yet, I speak with him tomorrow.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
